Sorry for the lack of updates but I finally got the new layout together after
some struggling. Didn't feel much like like adding to the site until I had
a design I was happy with. I'll try to do better from now on.

I've started this website because I, like so many of you out there I think, love
stop-motion animation. Then why didn't I make a page about Ray Harryhausen you
might ask. The answer is simple. Phil Tippett was to me growing up what Harryhausen was to
Phil Tippett. I fell in love with the art of stop-motion watching the Star Wars
trilogy as a kid and was changed forever. I, of course, also love Ray Harryhausen's work
but I didn't discover him until quite late. Had I lived in America I might have seen his movies
sooner. So, basically it's Tippett's fault that I am the way I am. :)

Tippett Studio doesn't create stop-motion effects anymore but Phil Tippett is still the
man I admired the most growing up. I wanted to be him. :) He still does
great work, he's still the best even tho I don't feel quite as nostalgic
about CGI. ;)

Basically I've made this site to amuse myself and also train myself in writing.
I've never very good at that and I could use the practise. And what better way
to learn things then to learn them while writing about your favorite things in the
world: movies and special effects.
